Training for Buddhist nuns

For women seeking full ordination as a bhikkhuni (Pali: bhikkhunī,
Sanskrit: bhikṣuṇī), the Buddhist monastic codes (Vinayas) mention a
preliminary training for two years as a sikkhamānā (Sanskrit:
śikṣamānā). The Santipada team gather, translate, compare, and analyze the
references to sikkhamānā training in the Vinayas of all schools in all
languages.
